''ARMY/SHIITE CLASH: NHRC INDICTS EL-ZAKZAKY, OTHERS''
The National Human Rights Commission yesterday called for speedy trial of detained leader of the Shiite Islamic sect, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.
The commission made the call after it released the report of a special panel it constituted to investigate the December 12, 2015, bloody clash between members of the sect, under the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, and the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The commission in the voluminous report which the head of the investigation panel, Mr. Tony Ojukwu, submitted to its Executive Secretary, Prof. Bem Angwe, yesterday, maintained that the leadership and members of the sect were responsible for the abuse of right to freedom of movement of the convoy of the Chief Of Army Staff and other members of the public by blocking the public highway on December 12, 2015.
